About Rosie in TN

Meet Rosie, a delightful 2-year-old female Dachshund from Shelbyville, TN. This little ray of sunshine weighs about 11.44 pounds and sports a short, smooth red coat that makes her simply adorable. While she may not have known how to play before, Rosie is learning and thrives on attention—she's especially fond of sweet words and offers a charming smile in return. Rosie would do best in a home with older children, who respect her space, and she gets along well with both male and female dogs. A fenced yard is essential for her, allowing her the freedom to explore and play safely. Importantly, she will need a playmate her size to help her learn and grow. While she is house-trained and crate-trained, she is still polishing her leash skills. Currently undergoing heartworm treatment, Rosie will be available for adoption on November 28, just in time for the holiday season. The heartworms are manageable—a light positive—and she will be clear by the time she finds her forever home. This timeline offers a wonderful opportunity to prepare a special welcome for her. If Rosie sounds like the companion for you, please consider applying to adopt her. Rosie's requirements for adoption include no high-rise apartments and someone who can be home more often than not. If you think you could provide the loving environment she deserves, apply today to begin your journey with this sweet pup!
